First I went to the kitchen to taste the stuff I cooked last night. Sure enough, it tasted even better after soaking it overnight.
Li Ke first fished out the couple's lung slices, dried them, and then weighed them one pound at a time and put them into plastic bags.
Then there are tiger skin and chicken feet, also one pound per bag.
The braised eggs are packed individually in small plastic bags, and then put into large bags.
There is no need to pack the dried incense separately, just pack it into a big bag.
After finishing all this work, Li Ke went to the yard and squatted by the well to wash up.
I was brushing my teeth and thinking about how to use a bicycle belt.
After washing up, I went to get a towel and passed by the bicycle. I found two bamboo baskets tied to both sides of the back seat of the bicycle and fixed to the iron frame of the back seat with hemp rope.
It's so considerate. I don't know when Chen Xingyi made it.
It wasn't there last night, but it was tied up early this morning. It couldn't have been done by getting up in the middle of the night.
I went to the utility room on the west side and took a look. There was no one in the room. I wonder where he went early in the morning.
Li Ke ate two braised eggs, then put the packed things into the bamboo basket, placing half of the basket on each side to keep balance. He also found a raincloth at home, cut it open and covered it with scissors.
After packing these things, he heard the clock in the main room chime ten times, and Li Ke was ready to set off.
We set off in the middle of the morning, and the sun was already high. After riding for a while, Li Ke was covered in sweat from the sun.
I finally found a shady place, took out the cold water I had prepared in advance and drank a few sips of it, then took out a towel and hung it around my neck.
Afraid of missing the trip, I didn't dare to take a rest and set off again.
When we arrived, there were already several stalls at the door of the shoe factory, one selling lunch boxes, one selling wonton noodles, two fruit sellers, and an old man selling popsicles.
The lunch box seller was a young man.
The seller of wonton cold skin is a young couple.
The fruit sellers seemed to be a mother and son, each managing a stall.
The old man selling popsicles is the most Buddhist. He leans against a big tree and shakes a cattail leaf fan, asking those who wish to buy it.
Fortunately, there are no competitors, everyone sells different products.
Although everyone sells different products, they are all competitors. After all, we only have one stomach. After finishing the lunch box, we will not be able to eat wontons.
It's really hot, but I don't know what time it is now. It seems necessary to buy a watch.
There are no good seats anymore. Li Ke can either go further away under the shade of a tree or under the bright sun.
Li Ke first parked his bicycle under the shade of a tree, then took two braised eggs and went to meet the security guards at the shoe factory to check the time.
There are two security guards on duty today, and one of them is the same old man who received cigarette damage yesterday.
The uncle was very enthusiastic when he saw Li Ke coming over and asked her if she had brought a cup so that she could come over and get some water.
Li Ke hurriedly said that he had brought water, and after looking at twelve o'clock for five minutes, he didn't have time to say much, so he quickly pushed his bicycle to a place near the gate to receive the sun's brunt.
After Li Ke left, another security guard asked, "Old Song, is that a relative of yours?"
"No, we just met yesterday."
"We just met yesterday, and you are so enthusiastic today. There is something wrong with you."
"Lao Li, let me ask you, among those stalls at the door, whose eggs have you eaten and whose cigarette have you ever smoked?"
"Old Song, you're still smoking someone else's cigarette. It's not kind of you. Take it out quickly."
"Actually, it's not as bad as a mouthful of eggs or a pack of cigarettes. I think it's not easy for this little girl to support her family at such a young age.
I'll help as much as I can with easy things. The most important thing is that this girl knows how to get into trouble and is willing to sacrifice her dignity. From now on, she will definitely not be an ordinary person."
"Hey, these eggs are so delicious. If you don't miss this bite of eggs, I will. Give me yours." Lao Li said and reached out to take it.
"Let's go." Lao Song hurriedly swallowed the egg three times.
"Don't tell me, it's very delicious. It's different from what we make at home. It's all your fault. I can't even taste it no matter what." Lao Song complained as he chewed his lips after savoring the taste.
Lao Li and Lao Song were eating eggs in the security room with a small fan blowing. It was so beautiful. Li Ke's hair was dry in the sun.
I have never felt that these five minutes were so long.
I finally waited until the shoe factory got off work.
People poured out, and female workers came out in twos and threes, arm in arm.
Everyone went to familiar stalls, those who bought lunch boxes bought lunch boxes, those who ate wontons ate wontons, and some bought fruits and went home.
Li Ke didn't have time to think too much. After all, the crowds were only here for a moment and they would all be gone soon.
"Delicious couple's lung slices, fresh tiger skin and chicken feet, free to eat and taste. If it doesn't taste good, no charge. Everyone is passing by, don't miss it." No matter what, Li Ke opened his throat.
Start shouting.
The surrounding vendors were shocked. After all, it was the 1990s, not long after the rise of market economy, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up had not yet reached this remote and backward northern town.
Policies change from time to time. The status of self-employed people is very low. Everyone sells things secretly. How can anyone have seen this battle? And this is the first time I heard that food is free. What's going on?
"What is that girl yelling about?"
“Eat for free.”
"Isn't she afraid of losing money?"
"Who knows?"
"What does she sell?"
"Husband and wife's lung slices, and those chicken feet."
"What's that?"
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
It didn't matter what the surrounding vendors were talking about. After hearing the shouting, the female workers began to walk towards Li Ke in twos and threes.
There was a circle around Li Ke, everyone was watching, waiting for the first person to eat the crab.
After all, everyone has the mentality of taking advantage. No one will refuse a free tasting regardless of whether they buy it or not.
"Can I eat for free?" asked a girl in a red plaid shirt.
"Yes, the delicious Husband and wife's lung slices are free to taste before buying. If it's not delicious, there's no charge." Li Ke brought out a plate with the Husband and wife's lung slices cut into small pieces.
It shines red in the sun and exudes an attractive fragrance. There are toothpicks stuck on each piece.
It is convenient to eat and does not dirty your hands. Li Ke learned the tasting routine used by later large supermarkets to promote new products.
The girl in the red plaid shirt carefully picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.
"How is it, how is it?" asked the girl next to her carrying a canvas bag.
"It's super fragrant and delicious. Try it quickly." The girl in the red plaid shirt nodded crazily while chewing.
After listening to it, the girls who were watching also wanted to know how fragrant the super fragrance is.
So one hand reached for the tasting plate.
Praise and discussion soon broke out from the crowd.
"How do you sell this thing?" asked a woman with fashionable curly hair.
"What you guys just tried is Couple's Femoral Slices. It costs eight yuan a pound. If you buy a pound, you will get a piece of dried fragrant slices for free."
"This is too expensive for you."
"My couple's lung slices are made with fine beef shank, tendon and tripe, plus exclusive secret seasoning.
Think about it, everyone, if we buy raw beef tendons, we still have to pay six yuan per pound.
Besides, a pound of raw meat can only produce sixty-two pieces of cooked beef. Cooked beef costs ten yuan a pound in the market.
Let’s buy this couple’s lung slices to take home. It can be paired with porridge, noodles and rice. Both adults and children love to eat it.”
Li Ke began to introduce the ingredients used in Couple's Fei Tablets to create value for the product.
The exclusive secret emphasizes preciousness and uniqueness.
Comparison with the price of cooked beef in the market is the price anchor point.
Pairing it with porridge, rice and noodles is a structural usage scenario.
What I learned from being a salesperson in my previous life was really not wasted at all.
Fortunately, I have been studying and struggling in my previous life.
Although the fruits of struggle are now gone, the skills I learned are all my own and can be used flexibly.
Otherwise there is no point in rebirth.
If you were a straw bag in your previous life, you will still be a straw bag in your next life.
